T
he pastel-colored Delitzsch Castle in the midst of a lake landscape
has a magical appearance. Wilhelm I of Meissen had a medieval
moated castle built in the 14th century, the tower of which is still
preserved today. From 1540, the castle complex was remodeled into a
Renaissance palace, serving as a traveler’s residence for Saxon rulers. It
also served as a widow’s residence for duchesses in the mid-17th century.
During this time, it was rebuilt in keeping with the French model into a
Baroque palace with splendid interior decoration. To this day, visitors to
the palace museum can marvel at the magnificent apartments such as the
bedchamber or the dressing room. The Baroque Garden »à la française«,
which was designed at the insistence of the dowager duchess Christiane
von Sachsen-Merseburg, is also an enticing place to dream. It was not
only grandeur and splendor that could be found behind the castle walls:
From 1860 to 1926, a prison for women was also located here. In the
museum, visitors travel through the different centuries and discover the
history of Delitzsch Baroque Castle.
